Chapter 417: Finding Another Backer
In the middle of winter.
It's very cold.
Princess Yuqing was not cold at all.
She held her scorching-hot nephew in her arms, and she herself began to sweat.
It's hot and urgent.
She looked at Concubine Zhengui with a stern expression: "Have you asked the imperial physician to come and see you?"
"I've checked. The Emperor summoned the imperial physician and several other doctors. His life is saved, but the high fever won't go away."
"Go and invite all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau." Princess Yuqing said and handed the token in her hand to Nanny Feng.
Xiao Yuer is the prince's life.
If anything happened to him, the prince would probably lose half his life.
She felt that she was holding two lives in her hands, and Yu'er must not be in any harm.
Poor Yu'er is still so young, yet he has to suffer this kind of pain.
"Who is it? Who pushed Yu'er into the lake?" Damn it, if she knew, she would definitely cut that person into pieces.
Princess Yuqing secretly swore in her heart.
The murderous look in his eyes made Concubine Zhengui feel uneasy.
Miaomiao was also frightened by Xiaoyuer's appearance. Her little face was flushed, her hands were burning hot, and she was in a daze. Her half-open and half-closed eyes lit up after seeing them.
What a pitiful thing!
"Mom, Yu'er's fever will damage his brain. Let's cool him down first. Apply ice to his forehead and wipe his body with warm water, including his back, armpits, and limbs..." Miaomiao remembered that her mother did the same thing when she had a fever.
It is important to lower the temperature first.
Fortunately, there is snow outside, and using snow to cool down is the same.
Although the biting cold is a bit uncomfortable, it is better than being burned to death.
"Why don't you go quickly? What are you standing there for?" Princess Yuqing glanced at the palace servants who were serving on the side.
The palace servants seemed to have forgotten who their master was, and they did whatever Princess Yuqing told them to do.
The high fever subsided after a while.
The room was also filled with a large number of imperial doctors.
Princess Yuqing could mobilize the entire Imperial Medical Bureau with just one word, which was something Zhenfei had not expected.
It can be seen that the Queen's power is so great that Prince Chen cannot contend with it, at least Prince Chen cannot do it.
Her eyes fell on the red-cheeked Crown Prince in Princess Yuqing's arms, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
People are all made of flesh and blood.
She would whisper in the emperor's ear and also sow discord.
She just couldn't bear to watch a child die in front of her.
What's more, this child is the crown prince. If the prince survives, this child is very likely to be the future emperor.
Concubine Zhengui was a little dazed.
Just because she looked like the emperor's deceased favorite concubine, she was transformed from a little peasant girl into a girl from the Fang family and became the emperor's concubine.
Now she has become the Imperial Noble Consort.
Everything was so hard yet so smooth.
But what about the imperial concubine?
She is still young, while the emperor is approaching old age.
A concubine like her who has never given birth, no matter how favored she was in the past or how high her status was, would eventually be sent to the San Sheng Temple as long as she was not the queen, and would still have to accompany the green lamps and ancient Buddhas.
In the end, it is nothing but a mirage, everything is fleeting.
If you have enemies, you will most likely not live to see a natural death.
Just like Concubine Shu, now Shen Zhaoyi, her status was demoted a lot by the emperor, but once the emperor passed away, she would be the dowager concubine and could legitimately follow her son to his fiefdom.
They are still being worshipped and supported by others.
It only takes a word to kill her.
But she fell from grace in an instant and became nothing.
I became the meat on someone else's chopping board, at the mercy of others.
So as long as she has no children, it seems that no matter how high she climbs, it will be of no use.
She is unwilling to accept this.
People must have hope in life, and she doesn't want to give up even if there is only a glimmer of hope.
Choose King Chen?
This guy gave her goosebumps.
In the past, she felt that Prince Chen was gentle and refined, with the demeanor of a gentleman, and could be trusted.
But ever since Yaer told her about the deeds of her master and King Chen, she felt a chill down her spine. He was so cruel and ruthless.
Prince Chen easily abandoned his heartless Princess Chen, and also abandoned Miss Jiang, who was deeply in love with him, without hesitation. I wonder what else he would not give up.
Or maybe this person has no heart at all.
Such a person probably can't even be an ally.
Just by seeing how attentive she was to her child, Concubine Zhengui was somewhat moved.
However, she also knew very well that none of the women in the palace were vegetarians, and Princess Yuqing, who grew up in the palace, was even less so.
After the doctors had finished their consultation, Concubine Zhengui finally spoke, "Princess, I guess that man is targeting the Crown Prince and me. He wants to use the Crown Prince's death to get rid of us. We can kill two birds with one stone. Why don't we take advantage of his plan..."
"What a great move, killing two birds with one stone! Does Concubine Zhengui want to use me as a pawn?" Princess Yuqing raised her eyes and looked at her coldly.
The woman who had the deepest resentment in the palace was none other than Concubine Shu.
She took away Concubine Shu's favor, and because of her dead cats, Concubine Shu was demoted.
Concubine Shu must hate her to the core and wish she would die.
But if they want to fight, then fight. If they want to die, then die. They should never, ever lay hands on a child.
Miaomiao felt that the princess was very serious at the moment, and her eyes were a little fierce.
She had never seen such a princess.
When Princess Yuqing asked this question, Concubine Zhen looked a little unhappy.
But he still shamelessly said to Princess Yuqing, "I know that Princess has some prejudice against me. I was wrong in the past, but that was not my intention. Now that we are facing a common enemy, why not put aside the past grudges..."
"I'm afraid Concubine Zhengui has forgotten her last name?" Princess Yuqing interrupted her before she could finish her words.
It seems that Concubine Zhen is not stupid.
After all, for someone to survive in the palace and charm the emperor, it is not enough to just have a face.
This woman has some skills.
However, this sudden kindness and request for peace left her a little confused.
Miaomiao was also a little confused.
She sorted out the complicated relationship.
Zhenfei was found by Jiang Zijin and entered the palace in the name of Chenfei's cousin. Her surname was Fang in front of the emperor and she was a member of the Fang family.
To outsiders, she and the Fang family share the same fate.
This suddenly turned to the princess.
What's going on?
Concubine Zhengui had already dismissed all the palace servants. Seeing Princess Yuqing's men guarding outside the room, she spoke again, "I'm sure the princess knows that I'm not a member of the Fang family. I used to be controlled by Prince Chen because of my family, but now my family is no longer under his control. I am free. The life or death of Prince Chen and the Fang family has nothing to do with me."
She thought about this for a long time.
The emperor's princes all hope that the prince will die and that the emperor will die soon.
They are all ready to make a move.
Especially Prince Chen. Although the emperor values Prince Chen very much, he was not confined to the house for a few days. He was given a chance to redeem himself and was released.
In fact, the emperor didn't like him either.
But he had to pretend that he respected him and wanted him to replace the prince.
It seemed that she still showed some sincerity towards the Eighth Prince. After all, his mother had been favored throughout her life, and a son's status depends on his mother.
The emperor showed more sincerity to him than to other princes.
As for the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince and King Jing.
The Ninth Prince's mother, Concubine Xu Cairen's family was too weak, and she didn't even have a chance to compete.
The tenth prince was only five or six years old, and even if he tried his best, he could not compete with his brothers who were much older than him.
These two people don't like to hang around the emperor unless they have nothing to do.
Being cared for and valued by the emperor is not a good thing for them.
The worst off was Prince Jing, who was almost the one least favored by the emperor. Every time he entered the palace, the father and son would have a few words with him.
The emperor was very angry with him.
She rarely comes to the palace now. I heard that she is the princess who is taking care of him while he is about to give birth.
Almost the least noticeable one.
But he is the Queen's legitimate son and the Crown Prince's younger brother. If the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, the position will either be passed on to the Crown Prince or to him.
The probability is also quite high.
After much thought, she still felt that the prince's faction had the greatest chance of winning.
